Social: could not extract app social

Created on 7 Feb 2021 · 31Comments · Source: nextcloud/social

Trying to install the app into Ubuntu 20.04 Nextcloud snap, 20.0.7snap1 and I'm told it couldn't extract the app.

I'm using Ubuntu 20.04, with Firefox 85.

Nextcloud log:

Error | settings | Exception: Could not extract app social/snap/nextcloud/26119/htdocs/apps/settings/lib/Controller/AppSettingsController.php - line 445: OCInstaller->downloadApp("social")/snap/nextcloud/26119/htdocs/lib/private/AppFramework/Http/Dispatcher.php - line 169: OCASettingsControllerAppSettingsController->enableApps([ "social"], [])/snap/nextcloud/26119/htdocs/lib/private/AppFramework/Http/Dispatcher.php - line 100: OCAppFrameworkHttpDispatcher->executeController(OCASettings ... {}, "enableApps")/snap/nextcloud/26119/htdocs/lib/private/AppFramework/App.php - line 152: OCAppFrameworkHttpDispatcher->dispatch(OCASettings ... {}, "enableApps")/snap/nextcloud/26119/htdocs/lib/private/Route/Router.php - line 309: OCAppFrameworkApp::main("OCA\Settin ... r", "enableApps", OCAppFramew ... {}, { _route: "s ...

Same issue here

Hi. I had same error too on Nextcloud 20.0.7 git. I avoided this error by following manual install.

cd apps
wget https://github.com/nextcloud/social/releases/download/v0.4.2/social-0.4.2.tar.gz
tar -xf apps/social-0.4.2.tar.gz
cd ..
php occ app:enable social

I was able to correct this by increasing the memory_limit in php.ini file and then doing restart on php service.

systemctl status php7.4-fpm.service

Tried this after attempting to enable from cli with occ enable:app and getting the below error:

PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 2097152 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 405504 bytes) in /var/www/html/3rdparty/composer/autoload_real.php on line 35

The same issue happens on Ubuntu 20.04 arm64 on a RPi4 w/ 4 GiB RAM in a container.

Open files in apps/social/lib/Migration then replace data type start with Type:: to corresponding data type in database system.
Example I use mysql, so I replace Type::SMALLINT to 'smallint' and then enable the app

Fresh install of Nextcloud 21.0.1. Using directions at https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/21/admin_manual/installation/example_centos.html
I don't have an apps/social/... directory.
Command and output (run as webserver user):

bash-4.4$ ./occ app:enable social
Could not extract app social: Out-of-path file extraction {/tmp/oc_tmp_cJAY4b-folder/social/vendor/bin/parallel-lint --> ../jakub-onderka/php-parallel-lint/parallel-lint}

I get the same message if I try and do it through the web interface.

This is on up-to-date CentOS Stream, mariadb 10.3.27, apache 2.4.37 and php 7.4.16. Let me know if there's other information I can get that might be helpful.

Thank you, Now please tell me how do you solve this:

".well-known/webfinger isn't properly set up!
Social needs the .well-known automatic discovery to be properly set up. If Nextcloud is not installed in the root of the domain, it is often the case that Nextcloud can't configure this automatically. To use Social, the admin of this Nextcloud instance needs to manually configure the .well-known"?

Hello,
I have the same error. With nextcloud 20.0.8 it said that the package could be extracted.
I updated the 21.0.1 and now I also have this error:

Social version is 0.4.2

I guess the matter is not resolved, this is very annoying, I need social just to eliminate those nextcloud 21 webfinger and nodeinfo errors

Megachip on 16 May 2021

Can you provide a patch?

Megachip on 16 May 2021

Looks like its already fixed in #1249

Megachip on 17 May 2021

I am experiencing the same issue.

error log file attached:
error-log-social-app-nc.txt

its on a webhosted instance from hoster netcup. on the system page of nc 20.0.9 it says the OS is Linux 4.9.0-12-amd64 x86_64.

php
Version: 7.4.18
Memory Limit: 512 MB
Max Execution Time: 3600
Upload max size: 128 MB

database
Type: mysql
Version: 5.7.33
Size: 11,7 MB

not sure though if it is really an app issue. I am not really a system admin. the whole installation is just for private use.

derwotograf on 20 May 2021

I can confirm that #1249 does appear to fix the issue. I was able to pull and apply a patch file and enable the app.

The process that I followed:

Download the .zip file from the store page: https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/social. The specific link I .zip I pulled was https://github.com/nextcloud/social/releases/download/v0.4.2/social-0.4.2.tar.gz
Extract and place the social directory into the nextcloud/apps directory.
cd into the nextcloud/apps/social directory
Download the patch file from Github: https://patch-diff.githubusercontent.com/raw/nextcloud/social/pull/1249.patch
Run the following command to patch the files:
git apply < 1249.patch
Install the app manually with the occ command:
./occ app:enable social

I hope that helps someone who just can't wait for the commit.

Thanks @philliml74 for your answer. I could also solve this by manually downloading the app and then extract it into the apps folder. As my ssh knowledge is pretty zero, I could handle everything with the ftp client, webhoster file app within plesk and nextcloud webinterface.
